sejica · January 2024

What number are you trying for? 5

Month/Cycle? 4/3

WTO/TWW? Idk. CD 20, so maybe tww? Also maybe still wto. I didn't have a definite peak/positive yet, but did get a good strong line yesterday, so either it is a double risinging month, or I'm in the TWW and missed my peak, only time will tell.

Ages of other child(ren)? 6.5, 5, 3, 1

Any thoughts about this cycle? I can't seem to get my secondary symptoms like cervix position/mucus to line up with my opks, which are tough to target, so, I'm not sure how to get good timing. Maybe this is a sign to be done at 4.

Any questions? What's your favorite fertility indicator? Opk? Bbt? Cm?

Rant/Rave? Rant-ish: I get despondent on cd1, and I just want to hide away and cry and sleep until it's o time and then I get so excited thinking we must've finally done it this time, only for the cycle to repeat just over a week later. I'm just over this late o - short lp loop we're in. I get so depressed I can't even bring myself to post here the nearly three weeks I spend wto. Rant 2: I got rear-ended 2 weeks ago and I'm reluctant to put my big girl pants on and deal with insurance about it on a car we've already outgrown (seats 5). Rave-ish: my fil is loaning us his seats 7 wagon until we can get our next vehicle as our 6-seater is also having transmission trouble so we're selling it back to the dealer. Basically our driveway is a vehicle/car seat carousel and I'm over it, though grateful for family help.

GTKY: What is your least favorite household chore? Dishes, definitely, so that's hubs job.

@britters314 congrats on the pending adoption finalization! Please post here when it happens so we can celebrate with you.

britters314 · January 2024

@sejica Thanks, I’ll definitely update when it is finalized!

To your question about favorite fertility indicators, BBT is my favorite because I can pinpoint O and know for sure how many DPO I am. For knowing if O is on its way, I usually just rely on CM, but I like OPKs better (when I can remember to use them lol)

What number are you trying for? #5

Month/Cycle? 2

WTO/TWW? WTO

Ages of other child(ren)? 10, 8, 6, 1.75

Any thoughts about this cycle? The last one (first one) ended in a chemical so I'm a little apprehensive. And feel a little guilty that my heart is just not totally into it.

Any questions?

Rant/Rave? I really appreciated last month have my smart watch take my bbt automatically while I'm sleeping, it's the most accurate I've had since before our first baby. Because who knows when the youngest is going to wake me up.

GTKY: What is your least favorite household chore? Dusting. It's everywhere I don't look.

HotSauceSwagBag · February 2024

What number are you trying for? #2

Month/Cycle? -2ish. Because of some of my health issues, we’re more on the NTNP side until I can see my doctor and make some med changes and ask some questions. I see my nephrologist at the end of March and GP April 1.

WTO/TWW? Pretty sure TWW judging by it being day 14, by CF and how I feel in general. I haven’t started doing temps yet but I just ordered a thermometer, OPKs and all that fun stuff.

Ages of other child(ren)? 7

Any thoughts about this cycle? Well. We did it last night unprotected and I thought I was later in my cycle than I am now that I checked my dates. I’m pretty sure it was too late, but just in case I’m going to watch carefully and maybe stop taking a couple meds around 8dpo ish just in case. I’m mostly worried about the spironolactone I take for my blood pressure.

Any questions? Don’t think so, unless someone has dealt with high blood pressure and/or kidney issues prior to pregnancy. My tentative diagnosis is fibromuscular dysplasia, though it’s not looking promising that that is correct given more recent testing.

Rant/Rave? Tell me why we went so quickly from being unsure if we want another to omg, I want to get knocked RIGHT NOW?? It’s all we can think or talk about. I have such an urge to start turning my office into a nursery and taking stock of what baby things we already have, since we kept almost everything from #1. Right now my office is my dog grooming area and where my daughter keeps her Guinea pigs, so it needs some work 🫠 But I need to chill, I’m not even trying yet, let alone pregnant 🤦‍♀️

GTKY: What is your least favorite household chore? I think decluttering is the most taxing. It’s so hard to find a good place for everything, throw things out etc.
